== Phase 1 ==

*Health: 700

*Health: 700 (40 per Tentacle)

*1 Light Shot kills a Tentacle.~~.. so Probably has 40 HP per tentacle at least~~

*1 Light Shot kills a Tentacle.

== Phase 2 ==

Line 28:

==== 100% ====

After killing the last tentacle with Light Beam, immediately start charging your beam and fire [[Sunburst]]. Then, switch to [[Annihilator Beam]] and spam uncharged shots the remainder of the fight.

==== 6% ====

Start the fight with a charged Light Beam shot, and fire an uncharged shot right afterwards as you begin charging your beam again. Keep repeating the process of doing charge shots followed by an immediate uncharged shot for the remainder of the fight. This is by far the most difficult method.

=== Multi-Round Strategy ===

* 4%~~: TODO~~

====4%====

When the second round of tentacles appear, remember the Position where the shields weren't in the way, because when it becomes vulnerable, the last registered position will resume.

For this moment you want to keep shooting at the tentacles and avoid as much damage as possible with Cannonball, if you still have Annihilator Beam equipped, lock onto a specific tentacle and keep shooting at it, don't alternate in between tentacles as it will last longer and the more tentacles there are to harm you.

If you have Power Beam equipped, wait until the tentacles are moving slowly to shoot, one fully charged shot will take it down. It is possible to snipe them as they're moving but it's not recommended as you waste time by charging your shots again when you could have found a viable window to shoot a tentacle.

Once all the tentacles are out, quickly return to the last vulnerable position and shoot down it's weak spot until it goes to phase 2.

* In Any% and 6%, you should have [[Cannon Ball]] which makes this fight significantly easier. If you don't, you might get knocked down by the randomly spawning [[Inglet|Inglets]]. If so, you will just have to improvise.

=== 4-4-3 Strategy ===

* (Note that the method described below is only one way to get the 4-4-3 kill, and there are other ways to make it work).

Note that the method described below is only one way to get the 4-4-3 kill, and there are other ways to make it work.

* To start, there is a section of 4 pores. Go straight up along the first two pores, then turn to the top-right pore and lay your first Power Bomb right as you get to this pore. Then, immediately go down to the bottom-right pore until you have fully covered it with Morph Ball. Finally, go back up to the top-right one and start wiggling around it. If done swiftly, this will eliminate all 4.

* Now you are dealing with a new section of 4 pores. Go right so that you are on the top-left pore in this new section, then go down to the bottom-left one until you are covering it. Then, go back up to the top-left pore and start wiggling around it, then lay a Power Bomb in the middle of the section. Finally, after laying the Power Bomb in the middle, go to the top-right pore and then down to the bottom-right pore until you're covering it, then back up to wiggling around the top-right one. If done well, you should eliminate all 4.

* The last section is the only one with 3 pores. It continues the pattern seen in the last two, since you want to start by going from the top-left pore in the section down to the bottom-left pore until you're covering it, then back up to wiggling around the top-left. Finally, lay a Power Bomb in the middle, and wiggle around the one remaining pore on the right. Hopefully, this will end the fight.

=== Without Spider Ball ===

*You will need to jump from each lower tentacle to the top of Emperor Ing, then morph and as you fall passed the upper tentacles, lay Bombs or a Power Bomb. Repeat this strategy until all the top tentacles are gone.

*At this point, it is safe to jump off each lower tentacle and lay Bombs or a PB as you fall down to destroy them.

*Refill PBs/Energy as necessary

Line 78:

* From here, do Screw Attacks that dip low to the ground since lower Screw Attacks deal higher damage. Keep in mind that you are walking a fine line since you don't want to wait so long on pressing B that you actually land from the Screw Attack.

* If done well, you can kill him in one Screw Attack. If you don't, just get away from him, line up again, and do more Screw Attacks under his body.

=== Without Space Jump ===

Unfortunately, if you do not have [[Space Jump Boots]], you must fight this phase as intended, as Screw Attack won't damage him. The simplest strategy is to fire a Super Missile when his mouth is red to stun it. This will change his mouth to Dark or Light. The opposite beam is required to damage this phase. If you have Annihilator Beam, that is your best option here. Fire ~50 shots to end each phase (because the hitbox is bad). This will take off 25% of his health. Repeat the process until he is dead. If you run out of ammo, you can farm the [[Nightbarb|Nightbarbs]] and [[Lightswarm]] he spawns for ammo.
